Ingredients
- For the Soup:
- 1 lb extra lean ground beef
- 1 medium onion, diced
- 2 tsp garlic, minced
- 1 cup carrots, sliced
- 1 cup celery, diced
- 8 cups beef broth
- 28 oz petite diced tomatoes
- 2 medium potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup fresh green beans, trimmed and cut
- 1 tbsp tomato paste
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 1 cup frozen peas
- 1 cup frozen corn

Instructions
- Brown the Beef: In a large Dutch oven or pot, brown the ground beef over medium-high heat, breaking it up into small chunks. Add the diced onion and cook until the beef is no longer pink and the onion is tender. Add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Drain and discard any excess fat.
- Cook the Vegetables: Return the pan to the stove over medium-high heat. Add the carrots, celery, beef broth, canned tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, tomato paste, Worcestershire sauce, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Simmer: Once boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer, cover the pot, and let cook for about 25 minutes, or until the potatoes and vegetables are tender.
- Finish the Soup: Add the frozen peas, corn, and chopped parsley to the pot. Stir and cook until heated through.
- Serve: Ladle the soup into bowls and enjoy!
